"These shoes were recommended as comfortable walking shoes. They absolutely are the best! I bought these shoes for a stylish, casual pair for a NYC/DC seven-day tour.

My former colleague Ciera Velarde says, "I am a hugeeee fan of Birkenstock, and this is my second pair I've owned. My first pair were basic black, and they still look good after about eight years of wear. I bought these was because I loved how the gold straps looked, and two years after buying them, they are without a doubt my most-worn shoe!! That's me on the left on my honeymoon — I wore them all throughout Italy, whether we were on the beach, on a boat tour, or walking around cities for miles on end. I love wearing them with dresses because the gold really *pops* and you end up feeling so comfortable, unlike when I wear less supportive sandals or heels. To make these last even longer, don't forget to use their shoe care kit to protect the cork and make the shoe waterproof!"

Get them from Birkenstock for $117.95 (available in sizes 4–11.5, including narrow widths, and three colors).

Promising review: "I’ve worn these everywhere!! They are super comfy and lightweight, go with everything, and run true to size. I got them in white, too, and I’m obsessed. I’ve been to a concert in them, driven in them, and also, I went on vacation recently and walked all over the city, went out, and danced at bars. I’ve never had a pair of heels that are so comfy! Seriously, so worth the money." —Courtney Wilson

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 23 colors).

Promising reviews: "I was so happy to find stylish shoes to fit my small feet (size 5)! That is not an easy feat these days. I love the shoes. When I first put them on, I did not think they would be comfortable. However, after wearing them for just a short while, I realized they were actually very, very comfortable. They are also not smooth on the bottom but have a sole that has slight ridges, and therefore are not slippery, which you find with some flats." —Karen Hulshouser

Promising reviews: "These are super comfy and cute! They remind me of the Hermès sandals! These are my second pair!" —Rocky

Get them from Amazon for $47.40+ (available in sizes 5–11, wide fits, and 25 colors).

Promising reviews: "These shoes were the most comfortable platform sandals I’ve ever worn, straight out of the box. I was leaving a cold climate to vacation in a warm one, so hadn’t broken in these shoes at all and immediately was walking long distances over uneven streets with no problem. Feet never hurt. Sandals are sassy and look as good or better than advertised. Easy to dress up your outfit and remain comfortable." —frequentcustomer

Promising review: "I absolutely loved these shoes. I got SO many compliments when I wore them for my bridal shower. The bright pink color was so fun. Honestly, these were the most comfortable heels I’ve worn in a long time. The fabric around the front of your foot is so soft. I would 10/10 recommend these to someone looking for a cute pair of shoes for an event. I’m tempted to buy another color for my next event!!" —Mara

Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and six colors).

Promising review: "The shoes are comfortable, though a bit thin. There was no need to break them in, and I got zero blisters. Mine haven't gotten dirty from what I can tell, and that's with a lot of wear. I get compliments every time I wear them, so almost daily. I want to buy others in different colors." —Eric Lutzke

Get them from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 11 colors).

Promising review: "Love these fun wedges. Kind of reminds me of a party on my feet. They are so easy to walk in because, unlike so many others, they are not heavy, and their design supports my ankles and feet without compromising style. All the beads and colors work with just about everything. They were the perfect choice for packing to go on vacation because they don’t weigh very much, and there are so many outfits that they looked good with, whether dressing up or heading out in shorts." —Selectivesoul

Get them from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in sizes 5–10 and 22 colors/styles).

Promising review: "Love them! They are my new favorite shoes. They will go with anything." —Lulu

Get them from Adidas for $100 (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors).

Promising reviews: "They feel pretty well-made, and the heels are stable. The deep wine color is stunning, complemented by the high gloss of the heels. They are also comfortable enough to walk around for a long time, and they come with a pair of heel cushions for the balls of your feet." —Mia

"Love the color! Trendy sling-back style with decorative buckles. True to size! Perfect heel height! Comfortable! Easy to walk in! Great quality and price! I get so many compliments!" —caitlin

Promising review: "I absolutely love these comfy flip-flops! The arch support feels so nice, and I've had so many compliments on how cute they are! I plan to buy a couple more pairs in other colors and maybe an extra pair for house slippers. I'm going to buy some for my daughter for her birthday, too. They're high quality...way better than I'd have expected at this price!" —Kate

Get them from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 29 styles). 

Promising reviews: "This Chanel [alternative] is very in style right now. I wear them to work a lot with dark denim and a blazer. Or white jeans and a blazer. The heel is not too high, so it gives me a little lift but not too much to get achy feet. I like the sling back because it stays on without blistering or moving around, and adds extra interest other than my solid black or nude pumps I wear to the office every day. I’m a size 6 with a narrow foot, and these were true to size. I’m sure I’ll get many years out of these shoes. They are a staple for the wardrobe without the hefty Chanel price tag. Love them!" —ND

"I’m in love with these! They are so cute and classy. They fit beautifully and are very comfortable. I’ve gotten so many compliments when wearing these!! They are good quality and the color is spot on." —Prazene

Get them from Amazon for $42.56+ (available in sizes 5–11).

Promising reviews: "Such cute shoes that are maybe even better than the designer inspiration! They fit perfectly. The footbed is more padded than the designer version. Leather is soft and comfortable on the foot. Sole is not slippery." —Emily Wilson

"The shoes come very nicely packaged! These are my favorite shoes, once you break them in, they are like BUTTER. I have bought two pairs myself; I own them in black and in white. My mom has them in black and wears them to work every day. She wanted to have a backup pair bc she loves them SO much. My brother wants to get a pair too, LOL. I could not recommend these shoes more, I get so many compliments… people even think they are Gucci!" —Caroline King

Get them from Amazon for $49.89+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 11 colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love these shoes. They are well-made and look expensive. I get lots of compliments. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are. My feet hate heels, but these have just enough heel height to add some class and style. They are comfortable enough to wear all day at work with zero complaints. The fit is true to size. I’d give these a 10/10 and would recommend to anyone who’s looking for both comfort and style." —Gracen R Fraser
